Who out there has the IMC Surf Buggy? Please read the message below I got this AM from a Bob Kratochvil. He's seeking the "Flower-shaped" instructions. I do not have this kit any more. If you can help Bob, contact him directly (information below). Also note the new box artwork pics I have attached.

Dave,
I'm not sure who is the correct person to email, and hope this goes to
someone there who can help me.
My name is Bob Kratochvil, and I'm the Art Director at Lindberg/Hawk Models in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The company also makes non-model kit items, and the parent company is called J. Lloyd International.
Along the way, Lindberg picked up the old molds for the IMC Surf Buggy, which we are working to release as a Lindberg item as soon as possible. I've come across your web site, Dave's Show Rod Rally, which shows the instruction sheet for this item done back in the late '60's.
We're looking for a scan of, or Xerox copy of, the instructions shown on
your web site in order to recreate them easier. Recreating instructions from scratch takes longer to do.
I was wondering if you could help me in this area. In return, we can send you production pieces of this item once it goes to production, or sprues of the item we've already sampled.
The packaging has been completed (looks different from the original), and pictures of it are attached. The transparent parts were missing from our molds, and they are currently being recreated, so getting completed production pieces over to you may take a while.
Please let me know what is possible.
Thanks,
Bob Kratochvil
